Joshua 10
1 When Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, specifically, that Joshua had seized Ai, and had overthrown it, (for just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so did he do to Ai and its king, ) and that the Gibeonites had fled over to Israel, and were now their confederates,
Ní báyìí tí Adoni-Sedeki ọba Jerusalẹmu gbọ́ pé Joṣua ti gba Ai, tí ó sì ti pa wọ́n pátápátá; tí ó sì ṣe sí Ai àti ọba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí Jeriko àti ọba rẹ̀, àti bí àwọn ènìyàn Gibeoni ti ṣe àdéhùn àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú Israẹli, tí wọ́n sì ń gbé nítòsí wọn.
2 he was very afraid. For Gibeon was a great city, and was one of the royal cities, and was greater than the town of Ai, and all its warriors were very strong.
Ìbẹ̀rù sì mú òun àti àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ torí pé Gibeoni jẹ́ ìlú tí ó ṣe pàtàkì, bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú ọba; ó tóbi ju Ai lọ, gbogbo ọkùnrin rẹ̀ ní ó jẹ́ jagunjagun.
3 Therefore, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, the king of Hebron, and to Piram, the king of Jarmuth, and also to Japhia, the king of Lachish, and to Debir, the king of Eglon, saying:
Nítorí náà Adoni-Sedeki ọba Jerusalẹmu bẹ Hohamu ọba Hebroni, Piramu ọba Jarmatu, Jafia ọba Lakiṣi àti Debiri ọba Egloni. Wí pe,
4 “Ascend to me, and bring troops, so that we may fight against Gibeon. For it has fled over to Joshua and the sons of Israel.”
“Ẹ gòkè wá, kí ẹ sì ràn mi lọ́wọ́ láti kọlu Gibeoni, nítorí tí ó ti wà ní ìrẹ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú Joṣua àti àwọn ará Israẹli.”
5 And so, having assembled, the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, together with their armies, went up and encamped around Gibeon, laying siege to it.
Àwọn ọba Amori márààrún, ọba Jerusalẹmu, Hebroni, Jarmatu, Lakiṣi àti Egloni, kó ara wọn jọ, wọ́n sì gòkè, àwọn àti gbogbo ogun wọn, wọ́n sì dojúkọ Gibeoni, wọ́n sì kọlù ú.
6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gibeon, when it was besieged, sent to Joshua, who was then staying in the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him: “May you not draw back your hands from helping your servants. Come quickly, and free us, and bring troops. For all the kings of the Amorites, who live in the mountains, have gathered together against us.”
Àwọn ará Gibeoni sì ránṣẹ́ sí Joṣua ní ibùdó ní Gilgali pé, “Ẹ má ṣe fi ìránṣẹ́ yín sílẹ̀. Ẹ gòkè tọ̀ wà wá ní kánkán kí ẹ sì gbà wá là. Ẹ ràn wá lọ́wọ́, nítorí gbogbo àwọn ọba Amori tí ń gbé ní orílẹ̀-èdè òkè dojú ìjà kọ wá.”
7 And Joshua ascended from Gilgal, and the entire army of warriors with him, very strong men.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua gòkè lọ láti Gilgali pẹ̀lú gbogbo ogun rẹ̀, àti akọni nínú àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀.
8 And the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear them. For I have delivered them into your hands. None of them will be able to withstand you.”
Olúwa sì sọ fún Joṣua pé, “Má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn, Mo ti fi wọ́n lé ọ lọ́wọ́. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn ti yóò lè dojúkọ ọ́.”
9 And so Joshua, ascending from Gilgal throughout the night, rushed upon them suddenly.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n ti wọ́de ogun ní gbogbo òru náà láti Gilgali, Joṣua sì yọ sí wọn lójijì.
10 And the Lord set them in disarray before the face of Israel. And he crushed them in a great defeat at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and he struck them down, even as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Olúwa mú kí wọn dààmú níwájú àwọn Israẹli, wọ́n sì pa wọ́n ní ìpakúpa ní Gibeoni. Israẹli sì lépa wọn ní ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Beti-Horoni, ó sì pa wọ́n dé Aseka, àti Makkeda.
11 And while they were fleeing from the sons of Israel, and were on the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast great stones from heaven upon them, as far as Azekah. And many more were killed by the hailstones, than were struck down by the swords of the sons of Israel.
Bí wọ́n sì tí ń sá ní iwájú Israẹli ní gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ ní ọ̀nà láti Beti-Horoni títí dé Aseka, Olúwa rọ yìnyín ńlá sí wọn láti ọ̀run wá, àwọn tí ó ti ipa yìnyín kú sì pọ̀ ju àwọn tí àwọn ará Israẹli fi idà pa lọ.
12 Then Joshua spoke to the Lord, on the day that he handed over the Amorite in the sight of the sons of Israel, and he said before them: “O sun, you shall not move toward Gibeon! O moon, you shall not move toward the valley of Aijalon!”
Ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa fi àwọn ọmọ Amori lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́, Joṣua sọ fún Olúwa níwájú àwọn ará Israẹli, “Ìwọ oòrùn, dúró jẹ́ẹ́ ní orí Gibeoni, Ìwọ òṣùpá, dúró jẹ́ẹ́ lórí àfonífojì Aijaloni.”
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves of their enemies. Has this not been written in the book of the just? And so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and it did not hurry to its rest for the space of one day.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni oòrùn náà sì dúró jẹ́ẹ́, òṣùpá náà sì dúró, títí tí ìlú náà fi gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ́ nínú ìwé Jaṣari. Oòrùn sì dúró ní agbede-méjì ọ̀run, kò sì wọ̀ ní ìwọ̀n odindi ọjọ́ kan.
14 Never before and never after was there so long a day, as when the Lord obeyed the voice of a man, and fought for Israel.
Kò sí ọjọ́ tí o dàbí rẹ̀ ṣáájú tàbí ní ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀, ọjọ́ tí Olúwa gbọ́ ohùn ènìyàn. Dájúdájú Olúwa jà fún Israẹli!
15 And Joshua returned, with all of Israel, into the camp of Gilgal.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua àti gbogbo Israẹli padà sí ibùdó ní Gilgali.
16 For the five kings had fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
Ní báyìí àwọn ọba Amori márùn-ún ti sálọ, wọ́n sì fi ara pamọ́ nínú ihò àpáta kan ní Makkeda,
17 And it was reported to Joshua that the five kings had been found hidden in a cave, near the city of Makkedah.
nígbà tí wọ́n sọ fún Joṣua pé, a ti rí àwọn ọba márààrún, ti ó fi ara pamọ́ nínú ihò àpáta ní Makkeda,
18 And he instructed his companions and said: “Roll vast stones to the mouth of the cave, and station attentive men who will keep them closed.
ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ yí òkúta ńlá dí ẹnu ihò àpáta náà, kí ẹ sì yan àwọn ọkùnrin sí ibẹ̀ láti ṣọ́ ọ.
19 But as for you, do not stay here; instead, pursue the enemies, and cut down the lattermost of those who are fleeing. You shall not permit those whom the Lord God has delivered into your hands to enter into the protection of their cities.”
Ṣùgbọ́n, ẹ má ṣe dúró! Ẹ lépa àwọn ọ̀tá yín, ẹ kọlù wọ́n láti ẹ̀yìn, kí ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó dé ìlú wọn, nítorí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́.”
20 Thus, the adversaries were struck down in a great defeat, and having been nearly consumed, even to utter annihilation, those who were able to escape from Israel entered into fortified cities.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ní Joṣua àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli pa wọ́n ní ìpakúpa wọ́n sì pa gbogbo ọmọ-ogun àwọn ọba márààrún run, àyàfi àwọn díẹ̀ tí wọ́n tiraka láti dé ìlú olódi wọn.
21 And the entire army returned to Joshua at Makkedah, where they were then encamped, in good health and in their full numbers. And no one dared to move his tongue against the sons of Israel.
Gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ Joṣua ní ibùdó ogun ní Makkeda ní àlàáfíà, kò sí àwọn tí ó dábàá láti tún kọlu Israẹli.
22 And Joshua instructed, saying, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forward to me the five kings, who are hidden within it.”
Joṣua sì wí pe, “Ẹ ṣí ẹnu ihò náà, kí ẹ sì mú àwọn ọba márààrún jáde wá fún mi.”
23 And the ministers did just as they had been ordered. And they led out to him the five kings from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì mú àwọn ọba márààrún náà kúrò nínú ihò àpáta, àwọn ọba Jerusalẹmu, Hebroni, Jarmatu, Lakiṣi àti Egloni.
24 And when they had been led out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and he said to the leaders of the army who were with him, “Go, and place your feet upon the necks of these kings.” And when they had gone and had tread their feet upon the necks of those who were thrown down,
Nígbà tí wọ́n mú àwọn ọba náà tọ Joṣua wá, ó pe gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli, ó sì sọ fún àwọn olórí ọmọ-ogun tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ súnmọ́ bí, kí ẹ sì fi ẹsẹ̀ yín lé ọrùn àwọn ọba wọ̀nyí.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n wá sí iwájú, wọ́n sì gbé ẹsẹ̀ lé ọrùn wọn.
25 he spoke to them again: “Do not be afraid, and do not dread. Be strengthened and be steadfast. For so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.”
Joṣua sì sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù, ẹ má sì ṣe fòyà. Ẹ ṣe gírí, kí ẹ sì mú àyà le. Báyìí ni Olúwa yóò ṣe sí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá yín, tí ẹ̀yin yóò bá jà.”
26 And Joshua struck them down and killed them, and he suspended them on five gallows. And they hung there until evening.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua kọlù wọ́n, ó sì pa àwọn ọba márààrún náà, ó sì so wọ́n rọ̀ ní orí igi ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ márùn-ún, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sí orí igi títí di ìrọ̀lẹ́.
27 And when the sun had set, he instructed his assistants that they should take them down from the gallows. And having been taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hidden, and they set vast stones at its mouth, which remain, even to the present.
Nígbà tí oòrùn wọ̀, Joṣua pàṣẹ, wọ́n sì sọ̀ wọ́n kalẹ̀ kúrò ní orí igi, wọ́n sì gbé wọn jù sí inú ihò àpáta ní ibi tí wọ́n sá pamọ́ sí. Wọ́n sì fi òkúta ńlá dí ẹnu ihò náà, tí ó sì wà níbẹ̀ di òní yìí.
28 Also on the same day, Joshua seized Makkedah, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and he put to death its king and all its inhabitants. He did not leave in it even the smallest remains. And he did to the king of Makkedah, just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Ní ọjọ́ náà Joṣua gba Makkeda. Ó sì fi ojú idà kọlu ìlú náà àti ọba rẹ̀, ó sì run gbogbo wọn pátápátá, kò fi ẹnìkan sílẹ̀. Ó sì ṣe sí ọba Makkeda gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti ṣe sí ọba Jeriko.
29 Then he went on, with all of Israel, from Makkedah to Libnah, and he fought against it.
Nígbà náà ní Joṣua àti gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kọjá láti Makkeda lọ sí Libina wọ́n sì kọlù ú.
30 And the Lord delivered it, with its king, into the hands of Israel. And they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and all its inhabitants. They did not leave in it any remains. And they did to the king of Libnah, just as they had done to the king of Jericho.
Olúwa sì fi ìlú náà àti ọba rẹ̀ lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́. Ìlú náà àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ibẹ̀ ni Joṣua fi idà pa. Kò fi ẹnìkan sílẹ̀ ní ibẹ̀: Ó sì ṣe sí ọba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí ọba Jeriko.
31 From Libnah, with all of Israel, he went on to Lachish. And taking positions around it with his army, he besieged it.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua àti gbogbo ará Israẹli, tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kọjá láti Libina lọ sí Lakiṣi; ó sì dó tì í, ó sì kọlù ú.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hands of Israel, and he seized it on the following day, and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and every soul that was in it, just as he had done to Libnah.
Olúwa sì fi Lakiṣi lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́, Joṣua sì gbà á ní ọjọ́ kejì. Ìlú náà àti gbogbo ènìyàn ibẹ̀ ní ó fi idà pa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe sí Libina.
33 At that time, Horam, the king of Gezer, went up so that he might assist Lachish. And Joshua struck him with all his people, even unto utter annihilation.
Ní àkókò yìí, Horamu ọba Geseri gòkè láti ran Lakiṣi lọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ títí ti kò fi ku ẹnìkan sílẹ̀.
34 And he went on from Lachish to Eglon, and he surrounded it.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua àti gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ kọjá láti Lakiṣi lọ sí Egloni; wọ́n sì dó tì í, wọ́n sì kọlù ú.
35 And he also defeated it on the same day. And he struck all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, in accord with all that he had done to Lachish.
Wọ́n gbà á ní ọjọ́ náà, wọ́n sì fi ojú idà kọlù ú, wọ́n sì run gbogbo ènìyàn ibẹ̀ pátápátá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe sí Lakiṣi.
36 He also ascended, with all of Israel, from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against it.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua àti gbogbo Israẹli ṣí láti Egloni lọ sí Hebroni, wọ́n sì kọlù ú.
37 He seized it and struck it with the edge of the sword, likewise with its king, and all the towns of that region, and all the souls that were staying in it. He did not leave any remains in it. Just as he had done to Eglon, so also did he do to Hebron, consuming with the sword all that he found within it.
Wọ́n gba ìlú náà, wọ́n sì ti idà bọ̀ ọ́, pẹ̀lú ọba rẹ̀, gbogbo ìletò wọn àti gbogbo ènìyàn ibẹ̀. Wọn kò dá ẹnìkan sí. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti Egloni, wọ́n run un pátápátá àti gbogbo ènìyàn inú rẹ̀.
38 Returning from there to Debir,
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua àti gbogbo Israẹli tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ yí padà, wọ́n sì kọlu Debiri.
39 he seized it and laid waste to it, likewise with its king. And all the surrounding towns, he struck with the edge of the sword. He did not leave in it any remains. Just as he had done to Hebron and Libnah, and to their kings, so did he do to Debir and to its king.
Wọ́n gba ìlú náà, ọba rẹ̀ àti gbogbo ìlú wọn, wọ́n sì fi idà pa wọ́n. Gbogbo ènìyàn inú rẹ̀ ni wọ́n parun pátápátá. Wọn kò sì dá ẹnìkankan sí. Wọ́n ṣe sí Debiri àti ọba rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọn ti ṣe sí Libina àti ọba rẹ̀ àti sí Hebroni.
40 And so Joshua struck the entire land, the mountains, and the south, and the plains, and the descending slopes, with their kings. He did not leave in it any remains, but he put to death all that was able to breathe, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed him,
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Joṣua ṣẹ́gun gbogbo agbègbè náà, ìlú òkè, gúúsù, ìlú ẹsẹ̀ òkè ti ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn àti gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọba, wọn kò dá ẹnìkankan sí. Ó pa gbogbo ohun alààyè run pátápátá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ti pàṣẹ.
41 from Kadesh-barnea, as far as Gaza, with all the land of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.
Joṣua sì ṣẹ́gun wọn láti Kadeṣi-Barnea sí Gasa àti láti gbogbo agbègbè Goṣeni lọ sí Gibeoni.
42 And all their kings and their regions, he seized and destroyed with a single attack. For the Lord, the God of Israel, fought on his behalf.
Gbogbo àwọn ọba wọ̀nyí àti ilẹ̀ wọn ní Joṣua ṣẹ́gun ní ìwọ́de ogun ẹ̀ẹ̀kan, nítorí tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, jà fún Israẹli.
43 And he returned, with all of Israel, to the place of the encampment at Gilgal.
Nígbà náà ni Joṣua padà sí ibùdó ní Gilgali pẹ̀lú gbogbo Israẹli.
